A high-ranking cop who pepper-sprayed penned-in Occupy Wall Street protesters has been zapped with a lawsuit by two women who were in the line of fire.

Chelsea Elliott and Jeanne Mansfield are suing Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna in Manhattan Federal Court for blasting them in the face with pepper-spray during a protest last Sept. 24 near Union Square.

The incident was caught on video, and 1.5 million people watched it on YouTube, prompting outrage and drawing attention to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Bologna was docked 10 days of vacation for violating NYPD regulations.

The lawsuit claims Bologna violated the women's civil rights, and is seeking unspecified damages from Bologna and NYC for "physical pain and mental suffering."

Face facts. Iran is surrounded by countries that possess nuclear weapons. Russia, China, India, Pakistan and Israel pack nuclear heat. Iran is in a regional arms race. Besides the only thing that would prevent Iran from being invaded by a foreign power would be a nuke! If I were an Iranian general I would want a nuclear weapon. Expensive and hopefully useless. The whole meaning of deterrence is create fear in the mind of your enemy.

Matthew McLaughlin makes a clear and unequivocal statement that the *only* reason he's not killing people he doesn't like is because it's not legal. I have to wonder how long the Law will hold him back.

Anyone who meets him should stay aware that he is a clear and imminent danger to anyone around him, and should be prepared to act accordingly if he so much as frowns wrong or twitches.
